Continuity & Trivia

3:10-3:21 (2:50-3:00) - The street corner with the 'phone booth is unsignposted - presumably removed by the crew - except for the couple of seconds [2:50-2:55] when Melville steps from the booth and walks off when it reads MACKENNAL STREET, NW8 (which is just north of Regent's Park). It's gone again when Penman passes the booth at 3:21 (3:00).

4:40 - Steed declares, "It's Mothers' Day!" - which places this episode on Sunday March 24th '68 (the episode was filmed in July 1968).

5:52 et passim. - To back up Steed, the double decker bus has "Remember Mothers' Day" posters on the side.

5:52 et passim. - Mother's office is in a double decker bus in this episode, an idea that appears in the misguided feature film version of "The Avengers".

6:33 - Mother utters some dreadful Sixties faux "Chinese" while on the 'phone.

7:15-7:35 - Sleazy Steed : Steed very unsubtly checks out Rhonda from head to toe, both times she walks down the bus to hand him something.
